Trading Restaurant Group – An Example

Let’s say you think that Restaurant Group shares have upside potential as result of this broker upgrade. You decide to buy exposure to £10,000 worth of Restaurant Group using a CFD, at the current price of 134p. To do this, you need £2,000.

For the purpose of this example, let’s assume the Restaurant Group share price rises to 175p highs (+30%). Your profit would be £3000 from your initial investment of £2,000.

Conversely, let’s assume you open the above position, and place a stop-loss at 5% from the current price. Restaurant Group shares fall 5% and hit your stop-loss. Your loss would be £500.
